Including filter system and high-performance Chlordecone filter.
Chlordecone is a long-lasting pesticide that can persist in the environment long after use. If it reaches source water, it may be present at very low concentrations that are difficult to detect without testing. Because chlordecone doesn’t usually change taste or smell, many Runnymede homeowners won’t notice it in their daily water. That’s why some families choose to treat water where it enters the house to ensure consistent protection for every tap.
Even if your water looks clear in Runnymede, trace contaminants such as chlordecone can still be present, and many homeowners want the reassurance of whole-home treatment. Treating only a single faucet leaves other uses—showers, laundry and appliances—untreated, so a whole-house system prevents contaminants from circulating through every outlet. For households in our humid subtropical area where well-water issues like iron or sulfur can also occur, a whole-home approach keeps water consistent across daily routines.
For reducing chlordecone, an activated carbon whole-house filter is generally the best single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs many organic and pesticide-type compounds by holding them on its surface and inside microscopic pores, making it effective for low-level contaminants that sediment filters won’t catch. When installed at the main water line in a Runnymede home, an activated carbon system treats water before it reaches any faucet or fixture.
A correctly sized whole-house carbon system gives the media enough contact time and volume to improve adsorption of chlordecone as water flows through the bed. That lets your household water continue uninterrupted while contaminants are captured by the carbon. As with any single-media solution, peak performance depends on matching the system to your home’s flow rate and keeping up with maintenance so the carbon remains effective.
